It Works!!!!water!!!!!!at null!!!!!!!

[Guest]

No water in shop lines now I have been having problems after my main air tank gave up with to many rust holes after 30 years with moisture into my newer tank and into all the lines in the shop. Well I don't have $$$$$ for this and I don't have $$$ for that but by god this so far is doing great and the cost was around $80 + the Harbor freight $10 dump. It needs to dump more but it does work just have to stay up with it depending on use. A detail drawing and parts list can be OBTAIN from "this old man at PM PBTP"



At this Lowe's when you go past 1 1/4 inch you have to get short pieces that's why there is a connector in the middle of my pipe

Your cooling coil looks similar to the one I use to use on my compressor before I got my dryer.

Neat job Harley and good picture. Can't see mine all that clear.

But this is what I kind of had before the old tank went but the first tank was not a dryer but worked well as one I guess?

Hope you can see them?





And this is where I got the idea

Yep and got more copper on the way Its working very well except for the pissy ass auto drain from Harbor Freight. It works but does not stay open long enough. But at least I have the concept down good. I will just fine tune as needed. We have been running 75 to 100% humidity and its been a battle keeping things right in my bay for sure but just have to live with it and work with and around it the best I can. We have been in the 45 to 75 degree temps and its just screwy. Nice for a lot of things but not for what needs doing for sure so I find something else to do while I wait it out.

They make an additive for paint when having to deal with humidity and sure would help some times with powder but when it to high you have trouble getting every thing back dry to even think about coating.

You live in NJ and depending on where you live I guess you can have the same problem?

Harley - you got any more pics of that setup? Like where it connects to the tank?

I am interested myself. I was trying to fig out what was going on that I couldn't see and to see how it might have worked or did it not work? To make it really work is to spend a grand and then maybe more but mine is working great for under $100 and the next thing is to design a desiccant unit than can be built and added for that or less. I have the design but need to fig amount of what is needed as far as desiccant or another source and then to find easy to buy before and after strainers to keep the desiccant in place and then I will be good to go I hope. Then I can sell it like the add on hopper for the china gun Hey anything for a buck and save guys $$$ for under $$ would be good

The 1/2 inch coil comes off of the main one inch line coming out of the compressor. You'll notice the tee, one end goes down to a drain, this end works as a water trap. The other direction off the tee goes to the filter/dryer then to a coalescing oil filter then to an air hose. I mount a window fan the has two actual fans inside it to blow accross the coil cooling the air from the compressor causing the water to seperate from the air. It worked really well I actuall got a thirty degree drop in air temp.

Re: It Works!!!!water!!!!!!at null!!!!!!!

So you just open the bottom valve and drain the trap once in awhile like you do the compressor drain?

Re: It Works!!!!water!!!!!!at null!!!!!!!

Now I got it.
I am doing my whole shop and you were doing the one line. Looks like it would have done a great job. I have about 150 ft + of main line and with the air hoses adding up around 250 ft to try to keep water out of going to my paint bay and two blasting cabinets and never know where I might want to connect a paint gun to for shooting primer or even a truck paint job. So for mines seems to be doing a fairly good job and maybe adding one more coil like that to mine then I may have it under total control I hope.

Thanks for the set up picture you had.
